Concept explainers
To compare and contrast histogram and box-and-whisker plots.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Compare and contrast histograms and box-and-whisker plots.
Histogram
A graphical display of data using bars of different heights.It is similar to a Bar Chart, but a histogram groups numbers into ranges.
The height of each bar shows how many fall into each range.
Box-and-whisker plot A box and whisker plot is a way of summarizing a set of data measured on an interval scale. It is often used in explanatory data analysis. This type of graph is used to show the shape of the distribution, its central value, and its variability.
Histogram versus Box-and-whisker plot
1)Histogram Display large amount of data that are difficult to interpret in a tabular form where as a box and whisker plot gives a graphic presentation of data using five measures:the median, the first and third quartiles and, the smallest and largest values.
2)In histogram it is more difficult to compare two data sets where as in box plot easily compare two or more data sets.
3)Histogram is visually strong where as Box plot is visually weak.
